Wyatt has grown up so much over the last month that I feel like my baby is becoming a little boy. And I miss those days when he would cuddle on my chest and needed my attention every second. He was such a momma’s boy that he had to be in every place that I was and if he wasn’t he would scream in fear that I was leaving him.

Now don’t get me wrong I got soooo annoyed of this. I would wish that he would be more independent. And I hated not having enough time for myself. It was so bad that I couldn’t shave my legs when I was in the shower. I had to have to door open into the bathroom and the shower door part open so he could see me this would give me at least 5 mins to get in and get out. I swear for almost a year I didn’t get a nice hot shower.

I would get so jealous of my friends who had kids and whose husband would watch the little one so they could shower. If I even asked Cody he would say to me “well how long are you going to be?” And I would think to myself seriously you are in the bathroom shitting for I swear 2 hours every day while I am out here dealing with Wyatt and you have the gull to ask me HOW LONG I AM GOING TO BE? GOD, I haven’t had a shower for 2 days my hair so greasy that I can use the grease to fry you up some food!PLEASE JUST LET ME SHOWER!

Now this last month Wyatt has grown to be the independent kid that I want and asked for, for so long but now I miss those special moments that we had with each other. I loved being in his room at night rocking him to sleep smelling him after a bath

dancing and singing the ABCs to him while he looked at me like I was an idiot while he was eating. And oh those times when he would throw food everywhere because he was learning to eat with utensils.

When I Remember back to when he learned to roll over sit up saying mama for the first time and when he took his first steps it melts my heart and I cry a little. How can this time go by so fast?

We go places now and he will throw tantrums and scream because he wants what he wants! (Just like his mama!) And I have to put him in timeouts just like I had to yesterday.

Yesterday I swear it was Tantrum Tuesday. He was so bad that I couldn’t even think straight.

In the morning he woke up just fine and we did are normal routine where I put on Mickey and fall asleep on the couch to get the rest of my sleep I need while he watches one episode then I cook breakfast he eats I change him and then we play until lunch.

Well he didn’t want to any of that and I am tired from being up so late the night before so I couldn’t take the whines and attitude that he has now. He wanted to get in the fridge and get his Sippy so I’d open the fridge and he would get mad and whine at me. WHAT? I say to him and he looks at me with that little smirk that he has and walks away and whines for me to put him on the counter (cause I do this when I cook and clean the kitchen.) and I say “you don’t need to be up there.” Oh did he let me know that he did need to be up there with a very loud scream! We keep doing this until breakfast time. Later I have to force him to take a nap and when he woke up from that he wouldn’t eat the lunch I made him.

And that’s the one thing I hate the most because I already have to make two different meals because Cody is the pickiest eater I have ever met. And I hate it! Hate it soooo bad!

Cody eats these things and these things only

Plain hamburgers no condiments nothingFriesTacos but with no seasoning on the meat, seriously none and it has to be in a taco shellBig cheeses (which are torteias with cheese melted on them.)Pb&jsMac & cheese but not from a box it’s just plain noodles with shredded cheese melted on it. (GROSS)Frozen pizzaHotdogslemon pepper chickenCornbreadSoft pretzelsSconesHot pockets

That’s about it I think.

So I will ask Cody (mind you I just can’t make whatever I want for dinner for him because he won’t eat anything!) what he wants for dinner and this is how the conversation goes…

Me: Cody what do you want to eat?

Cody: I don’t know what do we have?

Me: (I go through the same list I just wrote about.)

Cody: well what do you want?

Me: whatever I will eat anything.

Cody: I don’t know.

Me: well you need to tell me because Wy and I need to eat.

Cody: just make what you guys want.

Me: well then you won’t eat so just tell me what you want so I can make it.

Cody: I just don’t know. we don’t have anything.

Me: well if I don’t make you something now you won’t eat.

Cody: *just stares at me.

Me: FINE DON’T EAT AGAIN WHATEVER!

2 hours go by….

Cody: I’m hungry

Me: * no really? Duh its way passed dinner time! –thinking this.

Me: What do you want?

Cody: I don’t know.

Me: UGHH *pulling my hair out.

Can you see why I hate when Wyatt doesn’t eat what I make I get so pissed off. I just want to be the housewife that tells you what you are having for dinner. But if I do this Cody won’t eat for days. Seriously I have tried this.

So Wyatt doesn’t eat the lunch I make so I have to make sandwiches which then I make him stay in his highchair until he eats. Which he gives in THANK GOD! Then we get ready to go to the Classic Fun Center with my sister and her daughter. Before we go there we have to stop at Wal-Mart and again Wyatt throws a tantrum because he wants me to hold him and I won’t. Because he has legs so why can he walk?

So of course he screams which I ignore. Then we walk over by boxes which he wants to play with. And the only reason why he wants to is because Neriah my sister’s kid climbs in and out of them while my sister doesn’t do anything to stop her. (My pet peeve.)

So when I tell Wyatt NOof course he’s mad. He throws this huge tantrum that I had to put him in time out in the middle of Wal-Mart while everyone is looking at me and asking themselves why I’m letting my 1 year ball his eyes out and I’m not picking him up?BECAUSE PEOPLE I WILL NOT HAVE A KID WHO IS NOT DISAPLINED!

He does finally calm down and sit his full minute and we continued on to the Classic fun center which we had a blast we bounced on the jungle Jim rode on carousels played skeet ball and ate pizza. It was a lot of fun and I will do it again even though my sister did whine about her boyfriend the entry time.

That night while I was putting Wyatt to sleep he needed to have me hold his hand through the crib bars so he could fall asleep. All though he is becoming more independent we still have these moments where he lets me know that I am still very important to him which I will always cherish.
